About Karnage Chronicles

About this game

Every five thousand years the planets align and create a rift in the fabric of the cosmos. It’s prior to such an event that this story unfolds. Play as a Murkwraith, an undying knight barred from Death’s domain, and cursed to eternal servitude for sins committed eons ago. Experience a rich story that takes you on a perilous journey through dark dungeons filled with monsters, traps, puzzles, treasure, and more.

  • Play alone or together with friends. Karnage Chronicles supports 1-4 players, with auto-scaling of monster strength and a number of spawns as people come and go. Full drop-in/drop-out support allows you to play and have fun while waiting for friends or randoms to join your game, even allowing you to change party size on the fly.
  • Karnage Chronicles is an action RPG designed from the ground up to fully immerse you in the magic of VR.
  • Choose between several types of locomotion by accessing settings in-game.
  • Take full advantage of an inventory system made specifically for VR.
  • Unparalleled anti-wiggle system for close-quarter combat. In this game you cannot tickle your enemies to death as the velocity of your swing defines the damage you do to your enemies.
  • Customizable weapon presets allow for quick switching between weapons in combat, and there are quick slots for easy access to consumables like potions and food.
  • Parry incoming attacks with your weapon or block them with a shield. Take full advantage of room-scale VR to dodge and sidestep arrows or magic hurled at you from afar. There are no random hit chances, all is player skill-based, same goes for avoiding enemy attacks.
  • Random loot and hidden treasure await. Collect coins, mine precious metals, find trash items to sell or random gear to wear. Visit new shops as you progress through the game where you can spend your hard-earned coins on new gear and consumables.
  • Place items for safekeeping in your Private Stash and share these between all your characters. Your private stash is even accessible after joining other multiplayer sessions.
  • Play as an archer or warrior.

Go forth and claim your place among the heroes of legend, Murkwraith.

IMPORTANT GAME INFORMATION

  • The dungeon state is saved when you leave, including quitting the game. When you come back you will find the dungeon in the same state you left it.
  • Multiplayer is not cross-platform only cross-hardware. You cannot play together with players who play through the Oculus Store. If you want to play with a friend who has an Oculus this person must be playing through Steam.

It is quite fun to play co-op. Just wish there was a name above the other characters. It can be hard to tell who is who. Enemy ranged attacks are quite brutal even on easy. Game can be a bit laggy across zones so choose the host central to all players.

I thought that the game was very to fun to play with my friend. I'm not sure how much I would have enjoyed it while playing single-player. While I did enjoy the game and the puzzles that were in it, there were a few issues with the mobs. The dodging for ranged fights, to be honest, is too much. Also, the ranged mobs can fire immediately after dodging. Anyway, it was a fun game and we managed to finish it in around 3 days with around 4 hours of play time each day.

I was expecting a 6/10 but was pleasantly surprised, it’s more like an 8/10! It’s well-designed for a unique VR experience, runs well (so far, I haven’t got that many hours yet), and the combat is interesting and engaging. This is a good game and not “an experience”

Fast paced. Awesome graphics. The upgrades are meaningful and limited. I played Coop with my 10 yo son and we had a blast.
